When it comes to dressing up for Halloween, picking a costume like Hercules is always a good choice. It's a masculine outfit that will make the wearer look both muscled and tough.
In order to keep the costume light and comfortable to wear, the Hercules costume uses brown leather to mimic the look of body armor. The leather has gold trimming and plenty of detail so everything looks authentic.
Underneath the leather armor of the costume, you'll find there's a white tunic. There's no leather armor for the back of the costume for your comfort. This lets you sit or stand-whatever you need to do in the costume and allows you to move easily.
Although you won't have the armor behind you, the costume does come with a red cape so the lack of back armor isn't noticeable except to you.
The cape is designed to sit around your shoulders and neck so that it falls over the back of the tunic. Like the armor that's attached to the front of the tunic, the cape is also attached to the rest of the costume.
This can make it easy to slip into without having to struggle to put on several different pieces of the costume. The Hercules outfit can be washed and ironed on a very low heat setting as needed if it wrinkles.
Along with the leather armor, tunic, and cape, the Hercules costume includes a few other accessories to complete the armor and make you look like a true ancient god. The first of these accessories is the forearm bands. These bands are made of brown leather with gold trim.
The second accessory is the bicep bands. The bicep bands match the forearm bands perfectly. They're easily fastened with velcro. With the costume, you also get a headband that's designed to be worn on your forehead. To complete the look, shin guards are also included. These guards are made of the same leather and stretch from your calf muscle down to your shins.
Even though you get all those pieces included with the costume, there are still a few accessories you might want to add to your outfit to give it that authentic warrior look. The most common additional accessory that people buy is a sword.
There are many different types of sword props available, so you can grab the one that appeals to you the most. If you plan on carrying your sword around all night, then choose a lightweight one.
Two other common accessories for the Hercules costume are open toe sandals and a Roman helmet with bright red feathers. With these three items, you'll look and feel like the toughest god around.
This movie was a laugh out loud fun adventure that features many memorable characters that are perfect for emulating for Halloween. First up is Emmet who in a case of mistaken identity is thought to be the one who has to join a group of other characters to save the world.
The fact that Emmet is not that type of character makes the movie funnier. But Emmet could certainly rule on Halloween. His construction worker costume is a fairly simple one, but definitely stands out.
His costume is an orange pair of pants and top. The top is actually a safety vest and not really a shirt. It has the wide white stripes with a right pocket for holding a pen.
The vee neck vest dips open to show Emmet's blue, long sleeved, open collar shirt beneath it. Topping the uniform is his bright red hard hat. If you wanted to be really authentic, you could use yellow body paint to color your hands and face to go along with the uniform.
Next up is Wyldstyle. Her costume gives a nod to her tough style shown in the movie. First, at a glance, she's clad in head to toe black. The bottom of the costume is a pair of plain black pants.
The top is a zippered leather looking hoodie with the hood left hanging down the back. The main decorations on her costume are on the right side. There's a mixture of blue and kind of pink/mauve design all tangled together almost in a line or slash style.
For the hair, you can either go with a black wig that has the one wide pink and one wide blue stripe, or you can use your natural hair and some of that Halloween hair color spray.
Though there are many versions of the Batman costume like the figurine has in the movie, you can get the same one. This costume is black from head to toe. The starkness of the black is broken only by the background yellow behind the bat emblem and the yellow of the belt. This costume has a cape and a soft hooded mask with the pointed ears. Accessories are available with this costume.
Vitruvius, the wise wizard has a more complicated costume. His costume is a pair of blue pants paired with a shirt that looks almost like a tie-dye shirt. He has a long, flowing white robe with brown tassels at the bottom front.
A blue cape is also part of his costume. To get his long white hair and long white beard look, you can buy these as separate pieces but don't forget the headband that he wears. If you want to get that white look to the eyes, you can get glasses with white lenses.
The Benny character has a costume that's a blue jumpsuit with a gray moon logo on the torso. The space helmet has an open front.
